A BAE-146 heavy just buzzed my house in Chico headed that way.
Fire name is Butte
It’s an island. Hard to justify more aircraft when structures are threatened elsewhere.
The towers on the ridge are an important communication site. Its justified.

I’m not saying that’s my opinion…I just know how resources are allotted and it’s LRA. RELAX

You are correct but no sense getting too tight on the rules when not much info is forthcoming. Got to keep the thread alive somehow.
Anyway it has always confused me why the Buttes are not SRA since they are not cultivated land and there is a good size portion that the state actually owns yet are not the official wildland fire provider for.
